I conclude that I am missing something or it really is a bug either in my build or in the octoprint ( which I doubt due to others having theirs up and running.) Not sure where to go here. I've attempted to use my googlefu and rebooted 2 times. I have access to the Onion from local ip of 192...72 and though USB. I am also connected to the internet so I am totally confused here. Any help would be much appreciated

Well, looks like I should really look over here more often. I also started installing Octoprint but had no time to cross-compile a proper gcc (which is required for the current version) and stopped. With your description I got 1.0.0 running after a few minutes - great work! I use the non-+ with USB root.

@Florian-Knodt Yesterday I tried to use the given ip with the port and got nothing. Today, well today is another day. Plug her in and go directly to the octo-print front page. Thank you for the quick response.

This makes the PrintrBot in the office so easy to use that it's almost always on and printing stuff. We had to move it to a different room to be less distracting!

I read-though a couple times before attempting. I'm surprised there are so few comments. After a literal copy paste operation, I now have a webui for my 3d printer (Anet A8). Thanks guys, the Omega2+ is really shining here. I haven't made a single change to this any of he setup information above. After I connected my printer and powered up, I did need to adjust the serial port to "/dev/ttyUSB0" and set the Baud rate to 115200. It worked the first time. My little girl will have some new toys when she wakes up in the morning.

This looks really good, I am going to begin the implementation tonight. Did you manage to get a webcam working with the Omega2+/OctoPrint?
I am using an Arduino + RAMPS and Marlin to run my printer. Are you aware that there is an Arduino dock for the Omega2+? I will post a picture when it has arrived.
Great work. Thanks

So I have finally gotten around to putting my electronics into an enclosure and was attempting to connect to my RAMPS board though the USB+ and USB- on the expansion board due to space constraints as seen below.

I power everything up through the Green Terminal Block on the Ramps Shield.

I am not able to connect to the Ramps board with this setup. The issue I have come across is that I cant seem to find any documentation on using the USB pins. Anyone have a resource I could read up on to get this working in this fashion?

I was able to get Octoprint 1.3.1 installed with minimal effort. It requires python libs that require compiling with GCC so you need to install GCC.

You will need more RAM for this to work. You can do this by creating a swap file. I put my swap file in the root (/) folder which resides on the SD card when following the instructions here. I also made my swap file 512 megabytes, 256 was not enough.

Follow the instructions above and stop at step 3.

Un-comment this line in the /etc/opkg/distfeeds.confsrc/gz reboot_base http://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/mipsel_24kc/base

@Jason-Allred I did forget to add the opkg install python-dev part. I'll run through everything else I did on a clean system to figure out what else I missed. I will point out that netifaces is where the hangup was. Whatever I am missing here got it to install.

@Jeff-Karney Also having troubles with netifaces installing (for Octoprint 1.3.1), all versions 0.10.X wont install (thought i would try it out), followed all the steps mentioned in this post. What firmware are you using on the omega 2+?

Im currently running b160. If your interested the output from pip is http://pastebin.com/pCyhgxpP it looks like python cant find the compiler as its missing the cache_cc directory. Did you set any environment variables to point to the GCC compiler?

Is it ok if I power my omega2+ via the USB A port? In other words, it's getting its power form the 3D printer's USB connection. It's working just fine, I'm just wondering if I am setting myself up for problems later on. It certainly makes for a cleaner install.
I originally had it powered via the microUSB from my laptop but then I went to power the omega2+ from a USB power adapter plugged into the power bar. I noticed that when I unplugged the microUSB power cable, it stayed on.

My printer is the Kodama Trinus3D which is running a proprietary variant of Marlin (I think).

@Jason-Taylor: It seems you have a non-standard USB port on your 3D printer. Usually an USB client port does not feed back power to the host. Assuming your 3d printer can provide enough current, you can totally run you Omega2 off the printer power without an extra power supply.

@Jeff-Karney Like @Ben-Murphy from a month ago, I'm having issues installing OctoPrint 1.3.1 - first when doing the pip install --upgrade setuptools, and then when when running pip install netifaces. I've just updated to b160, on an Omega2+. Any ideas as to what's going wrong?
